Camp Chapman attack

The Camp Chapman attack occurred on 30 December 2009 when al-Qaeda member and Jordanian double agent Humam Khalil al-Balawi blew himself up at Camp Chapman in Khost Province, Afghanistan (10 miles from the Pakistani border), killing 9 people and injuring 6. The base had been used to provide intelligence for CIA drone strikes on al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders in Pakistan, and Balawi entered the base in a vehicle with a driver, ostensibly to give the CIA information on Osama Bin Laden. He sewed a bomb into his vest and exited the vehicle with a cane, worrying the armed CIA guards, who knew that he was not supposed to be limping. Balawi repeatedly muttered "Allahu akbar" before blowing himself up. In response, the US carried out airstrikes on the Haqqani Network in Pakistan nearly every day, and the attack's mastermind Hakimullah Mehsud was killed in a drone strike in 2013.
